Greenhouse Gas Advisory

WHAT ARE

GHG Emission Scope Definitions?

To adequately assess an organization’s impact on climate change, the greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain of activities are categorized into Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3.

SCOPE

1

Direct
Emissions

These emissions result from sources that are owned or controlled by the reporting entity. Examples include on-site combustion of fossil fuels, process emissions, and transportation fleets owned by the organization.

SCOPE

2

Indirect
Emissions

These emissions result from the generation of purchased energy, such as electricity or heat. Organizations often do not have direct control over these emissions but understanding the carbon intensity of electricity or heat sources allows companies to make informed decisions about their energy procurement strategies.

SCOPE

3

Indirect Value
Chain Emissions

This scope encompasses all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain, including the supply chain, product use, and disposal. Scope 3 emissions are often the most challenging to quantify, as they involve activities outside an organization’s immediate control.

WHAT

Challenges are Organizations Facing?

All organizations are are impacted by the scope definitions and subsequent expectations around reduction. The degree and timing of impact will depend on the scope of emissions for that particular organization.

For organizations with qualifying Scope 1 emissions, there is an ever increasing carbon tax burden. Commitments to net zero require organizations to reduce their Scope 2 emissions while also encouraging reduction in Scope 3.

For organizations with qualifying Scope 1 emissions, there is an ever increasing carbon tax burden. Commitments to net zero require organizations to reduce their Scope 2 emissions while also encouraging reduction in Scope 3.

Organizations will need to reduce all scopes of GHG emissions in the following ways:

Reduce scope 1
emissions by direct on-site
emission reduction activities

Reduce scope 2
emissions by
decarbonizing utility
supply

Reduce scope 3
emissions by switching
to lower emission
suppliers

OUR

GHG Advisory Service

In today’s era of escalating climate concerns, businesses face a growing imperative to understand and manage their environmental footprint. A key aspect of this responsibility lies in accurately calculating and reporting GHG emissions to ensure commercial viability and sustainability.

Our GHG advisory service consists of a structured approach to assessment and quantification of a company’s GHG emissions using the ISO 14064 family of standards.

With each assessment of the company’s performance we produce a detailed GHG report which is aligned with international reporting standards according to ISO 14064.
